Catalonia in winter between sporting adventures in the Pyrenees and relaxing at the spas on the Costa Brava
In Barcelona for ice skating
After snow and water, in the Catalan winter there can be no shortage of ice. In Barcelona, you can skate on the brand new rink at the Westfield La Maquinista shopping centre on Passeig Potosí in the Sant Andreu district. The outdoor area of the car park is transformed into a huge ice amusement park, with the largest natural ice rink in the city: over 800 square metres and a slide, where you can have fun with the whole family. Other rinks, in Barcelona, are at the port of Moll de la Fusta and the new sustainable 'ice' rink (made without the consumption of water and energy) at Tibidabo. Staying on the ice theme, you can order or learn how to make one of the cocktails offered by Icebarcelona at the Platja del Somorrostro, complete with handmade furniture, walls and ice sculptures. Gloves and a courtesy jacket, here, are included in the experience.
